I started my "career" in 1966...
at a local hospital; even back then MTs were not appreciated within those hallowed hospital halls. Just a few months after starting at the hospital, I was snatched up by a most wonderful orthopaedic surgeon; did well there. Then around 1969 decided to go to Miami of all places; found a large, (for that era in time), MTSO, was hired immediately made exceedingly good money, was promoted to manage their largest office on Biscayne Boulevard. The money was good and the "wine was flowing"; could buy most anything I wanted and pay cash! Started my own MTSO in Atlanta, Ga. in the early and mid 1970's and did very, very well and paid the MTs very well...all were happy! Sold the business and moved back to care for my dying father.
Now, the late 1980's is when I saw the first signs of gangrene setting in. Was working for an MTSO out of New York, R&R Transcription, (I was in Florida).....at first things were going very well, everyone including the MTSO making good money. Next think you know, R&R decided to keep changing the way we were paid....(a good sign they are trying to reconfigure so the company gets more)...one time it was paid per line, then they increased the number of characters needed to constitute a line...then it was pay by the page.....then it was pay by the minute....then back to pay per line but without a lot of exclusions!!! Just like gangrene, it will consume and destroy the entire body unless the infected part is amputated!! So here we are...Yes, I'm still an MT and still enjoy it; but I most definitely look back and wonder how in the world we could have let this happen. Oh for the "good old days"!! 
But it's a cultural event that's been around since 1966!

How did it come about then that a "holiday" that was "invented" less than 40 years ago (apparently to create a semblance of culture for the otherwise cultureless) has become more acceptable to acknowledge one that has been around for 16 centuries!

It's so condescending and ridiculous that if it weren't so darned outright offensive it would be laughable.
But it isn't.
2006 Chevy Cobalt - love it!

1965 Ford Mustang and a 1977 Chevy corvette
along with the 1997 Intrepid. The Stang is mine and the vette is hubby's. He got them real cheap (under $4000.00 for both) and fixed them up.
Brown/FEMA
E-mail the White House, your congressmen and senators, your newspapers, the Times-Picayune and everyone you think may help to demand the immediate firing of Michael Brown. Now is the time. He needs to go out of there. His bold-faced lying takes all American people for fools.
Look up brown nosing - not what you are

Sylvia Brown
I have never trusted that woman. She answers too quickly. Other psychics will stop and listen, or honestly say they don't know. S. Brown has an answer for everyone. I think she just wants to sell books. I heard that she told the kidnapped Missouri boys parents that he was dead between two rocks. She said the culprit was dark, Hispanic, and had dreadlocks. That is a horrible thing to make up and tell parents who have a missing child. I prefer the guidance offered by Gary Zukow. He is not a psychic but he talks about living your life in harmony also.
I listen to Dr. Joy Brown sometimes on the radio
e-mail her or call her and see what she says. She gives pretty good advice and is FREE!!
If you can be positive about this relationship, you can be positive about yourself and meeting someone else. Remember, your gut feeling is what's right, and I think I know what your gut is telling you or you wouldn't be posting this in the first place, you just need someone to back you up. Don't waste any more time. & don't talk about THE REST OF YOUR LIFE -- you have choices you can make in this too as much as he has the choice to do/not do something -- it's just that you have the choice to stay in this stagnent pool of muck or get out, clean yourself off and never return to the dirty pool. Who knows what the future holds for you, but if you stay with him it will just be this same cycle over and over again, unfortunately. I say cut your losses now.
Brown & Fema delay
I JUST read that myself on the AP ...I have not been one to judge quickly because there is so much blame game going on but this.......it's just inexcusable and if proven (which I'm believing it to be if the AP has the memo), then Mike Brown not only needs to lose his job immediately but also needs to stand trial for negligent homicide in all the deaths that could have been prevented IF he had not worried about his "wording, CYA he was doing" in that memo, thank God for the common folk who had the decency to start with their humanitarian efforts and got down there when they did and despite.FEMA. I also heard that several companies like Wal-mart and RV companies were turned away because of not having the proper contracts ready, duh...FEMA did not provide them
How DARE he????????? In my book, he will be at the head of the line of many who did not want to give up their "power" along the way to help the very people who they were voted by and sworn to represent
Mastiff,rat terrier, a brown lab, and 2 others that I am not sure of.

Herman's Hermits - Mrs. Brown You Have A
it was the first concert I ever went to. I remember a teenage girl behind me crying her eyes out and screaming 'HERMAAAN! HERRMAAAAAN!'
I would call it "muddy brown"
I would call it a muddy brown color. He had some markings but it was hard to distinguish very much. He has gone into hiding now. A snake is a snake is a snake. Scared of all of them!
CMs are olive, brown or black - not in NC, but in SC - sm
look it up on Google and you will get some sites which show pictures. Maybe you can identify it that way.
No brown recluse spiders but I may have sm
found what looks like black widows out in my yucca bush. Scared the tar out of me. Now, I can deal with the snakes, but spiders sent me screaming. Spent some time on the internet looking them up but they might be black jumping spiders. They look to hairy to be black widows, otherwise the look a lot alike.
Love Judge joe brown!
 he's my fave
You have a brown smudge on your nose you

I don’t brown nose anyone as I am not in charge
of how to tell physicians to dictate, just handle my end. I only wish, though.
As long as brown-nosing MTs
exist, who will turn backflips if a doctor tells them to, this crapola will continue. Dictating on a cell phone is rude I agree. You'd think years and years of college, med school and residency they would learn how to form a correct sentence and get it right the FIRST time. Not too much to ask that the greedy SOBs be considerate.
Speaking of TV, anybody watching Being Bobby Brown?
He is coming off as the most normal between the two of them. I honestly believe Whitney Houston is certifiably crazy. It is really sad and scary to watch her. And her child! Is she going to have issues or what. Her mother is/was beautiful and crazy drug abuser. Her father is in jail on and off and a bit of an abuser himself. And the child at best is very plain and overweight. She looks sad and depressed most of the time. On a rerun I happened to be watching last night she told her mother to get away or she was going to hit her. This is a very sad reality show. I don't get why they would let cameras into their dysfunctional life.
My dog loves his brown rice and chicken!
He turns his nose up at most dog foods. Found out he was actually eating the cat food. For some reason the cats stopped attacking him when he got near their food. A few weeks after I put the cat food up on a bench where he can't reach it, he had lost 5 lbs. He'll eat the dog food now, but he loves his special rice and chicken once in a while.
Good grief, charlie brown. nm

Dear Muscle Stimulator. Brown:
The office manager did not find this funny at all. My boss and I did, however. That quick correct didn't last long.
This is poor spelling, not brown-nosing.
LOL
The point is she could only be promoted by brown-nosing
duh
Grape jelly and brown sugar????
Is that as a sauce or in the meatball mix, itself? Would you mind parting with the recipe, my curiosity is getting the best of me.
Ewww! Are those the brown hard little bugs that
I HATE THOSE!
I'll be watching to see what suggestions you get!! LOL
I did my office is yellow-gold with brown
tones and then with thinned brown craft paint ragged on using an old T-shirt. Turned out great and elegant. I also did my bathroom in green tones. People think its wall paper. This technique also hides any flaws you may have in your wall because it sort of gives it a 2D effect.
Muddy brown is not good. Could be a cotton mouth.
Or maybe a dull copperhead. Both are poisonous. If he opens his mouth and its white inside, he's a cottonmouth.
grilled salmon and brown rice, Greek salad.

I watch Judge Judy and am not a crazy and do not like Sylvia Brown! :) NM

this show certainly should not feed bobby brown's ego. it makes him look foolish and whitney nut
his only claim to fame pitifully enough is he is married to whitney houston and looking at whitney in the depths of her insanity, that's really not much of a claim.
I love to make meatballs with the grape jelly and brown sugar mix.
Also, the little smokies (wieners) and bbq sauce for appetizers.
Ours is in the regular food store with the brown, wild, and short grain rices, etc. nm

How about Whitney (pre-Bobby Brown/druggie days), Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey?
better than Streisand too. When she was big she had no competition and the world didn't expect as much out of its entertainers. Think about it.
Maybe some sausage and peppers on hard rolls, but brown all the peppers, onions, and sausages
s
Dinner tonight? For me, it's grilled mahi-mahi, fruit/veggie salsa, brown rice and broccoli.
